Character & Effects Animation
Description: These images represent work done in Maya 4.5, Photoshop 6, Commotion 4, RealViz MatchMover and After Effects 5. The aircraft are polygonal models texture mapped (primarily planar) with actual photos of a 1/16th scale aircraft miniature. The texture maps ranged from 2K to 512KB resolution.

The matte paintings were created in Photoshop and were mapped to billboards within the scene or were image planes. 

Moving elements were placed on motion paths or hand-animated. Pyro effects are composited elements. Nebulous clouds were created in Maya Paint Effects. 

I also used MatchMover 2 Professional to integrate CG elements into live action scenes. The live-action background plates were captured with a Canon GL-1 (three-chip) digital camcorder using the progressive scan mode.
